Landscape Less Traveled
Right on que I have got a few more images from my little nook of geological oddities discovered this last week. A buddy of mine wanted to go out there with me one day this week and I told him he'd have to ride in the bed of the truck blind folded and hog tied... surprisingly he agreed. I quickly realized I should have tied him in the truck not on the ground next to it since he is one big s.o.b., needless to say my back is killing me! Lesson learned. No more screwin' around here are the images. C&C welcome and thanks for looking!

Another excellent series from that strange and interesting place. We have something similar on a smaller scale here in Colorado, on the eastern plains. It's called the Paint Mines Interpretive Park. I like #2 and 3 the best.

Wow, I like "no mas, adios" the BEST! Cool spot. Now all we need is that butthead to come along and tell you how insecure you are for not revealing your location to the world.

BTW, does this place have a name? If it doesn't, I think we should bat some ideas around here.

Hell's Cathedral.

I love the mood and mystery of that last one. Great find!

Too bad I already shipped your library exhibit print. I could have held it hostage in exhange for GPS coordinates. :biggrin:

Love # 5 !!

#5 has the 'wow!' factor alright, but I really like the composition of #2.
I can see about a dozen more intimate compositions there. I've sure enjoyed seeing work from a relatively unknown location, and I sure look forward to seeing more!

Funny sh*t Todd! The location is in your basic US road atlas, and your title is very close to the actual name which is Hell's Half Acre and it's in the middle of Wyoming.

#5 is the best of the group, I really like it. Great lighting, color and composition. #1 seems to be lacking a focus to draw my eyes in.
